By Dr. Faria Shahab and Jawaria Shahab (Final Year)


Gynae/Obstetrics : no more a dilemma

The day you step into final year,the only synonym you hear with Gynae/Obstetrics is our Professor’s books,namely Fundamentals of Gynae/Obs.
Having been through my final year,I think I am in an adequate position to comment and judge the two books both in character and in literature.Prof.Dr Arshad Chohan is an incredible teacher,his classes keep you focused and his method of study which amalgamates both humour and the course under study drills the subject into you conscious and subconscious mind,and this exactly reflects in his books too.His books are easy to understand,explicitly written and describe how everything happens,which most books don’t,so basically they help you make concepts and not just sacks of memorization being loaded on you.
I now will analyze the mechanics of his two books.His books have a straightforward and effortless English,and everything is explained in the most simple manner possible,disregarding the wider concept in most books,that we would or would not know a particular thing.Infact many of my concepts about different physiological processed actually got corrected through this book,as heavy emphasis is laid on physiology and patho physiology,so by the end you come out more conceptual, more apt about the topic in question.
These are the kind of books,which cover everything and do not leave any space for ambiguity.These books negate the substandard text of other local books,and set a standard on their own,and only because of this,these books are the standard textbooks for the subject all over Pakistan,being a gigantic aid to medical students of almost all medical colleges in Pakistan.

Hence,Gynaecology and Obstetrics as subjects are not a quagmire of dilemma any more,life is easy kids.:) 
You have one thing less to worry about.

I had thought that Gynae is a very dry subject, but Fundamentals of Gynae & Obs by Dr. Arshad Chohan not only refined my concepts in the subject but also helped me develop as interest in the subject.

When I was a final year student, we were told recipes of what to do from which book & which of that material would please an examiner, & at the end all got jumbled up & what remained was the only photographic memory of one book "Fundamentals of Gynae & Obs by Dr. Arshad Chohan". This is the best book on the subject that i have come across uptil now.
More than sufficient for undergraduate and postgraduate students as well. When reading a chapter of over 30 - 40 pages from other books on the subject,the few things that i remember at the end , to my surprise, are already explained beautifully in the book of Dr. Arshad Chohan. So far it has been a great help in my undergraduate and postgraduate training. Its like an addiction... once you are in, you cant esape the aura created by the author unless you understand each and every bit of it. Simple yet elegant..

"Fundamentals of Gynae & Obs" by Dr. Arshad Chohan is most comprehensivee book on the subject for undergraduates. And I m getting benefit from it in my post graduation training as well because it is simple and easy to remeber and follow and apply on the patients. Also it covers those cases very beautifully that r given least importance in books by western authors but they are very common in our country, so dealing and managing those patients has now become easier. Each chapter covers the topic in the best possible sequence that is applicable while managing patients. The treatment options given are those that are available and in the best sequence of importance. The signs n symptoms are also described in the order of percentage of presentation. so a master book for undergraduate and postgraduate trainees.

A book that covers all the aspects of Gynecological topics and explains surgery in a very good way. Equally helpful to undergraduate and post graduate students. No need to study any other book in particular at under graduate level.

  4. The book needs a thorough review... a lot of the information is outdated
    For example DnC has been replaced by Pipelle endometrial sampling as a tool to invastigate Bleeding of endometrial Origin BEO.
